AI-Driven Wireless Sensing for Remote Healthcare
Radio frequency-based contactless sensing has attracted significant attention in recent years due to the ubiquitous deployed IoT infrastructures and the advancement of wireless communications technologies. Read more
Project Q1212: Flavour-centric Innovation for Cultivated Meat: Bridging the Sensory Gap in Cellular Agriculture (Dr Tassos Koidis, Queen’s University Belfast)
The modern practices of industrial farming have faced scrutiny due to their adverse effects on health and the environment. As the global population rapidly increases, the quest for sustainable and nutritious alternatives to traditional animal products becomes crucial. Read more
Project Q2122: Harnessing Explainable AI to Identify Key Microbial Drivers of Reduced Ruminant Greenhouse Gas Emissions (Prof Chris Creevey, Queen's University Belfast)
Scientific Background. Microbes form stable communities by each taking on unique roles based on their genes, a process known as niche specialization. Read more
Project Q2125: Combining Hazard Prediction and Animal and Plant Health Diagnostics for Enhanced One-Health Decision Support Under Climate Change (Prof Eric Morgan, Queen's University Belfast)
Climate change and drug resistance are posing real issues for farmers, threatening productivity and the sustainability of livestock farming. Read more
Project Q2123: Using Machine Learning and AI Approaches to Determine the Origins of Post-Weaning Diarrhoea and Antimicrobial Resistance in Piglets (Dr Linda Oyama, Queen's University Belfast)
Scientific Background. Post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD) is a critical health concern in piglets, affecting their wellbeing and productivity. Read more
Project Q1104: Data and Knowledge Dual-Driven Artificial Intelligence in Remote Sensing (Dr Anna Jurek-Loughrey, Queen’s University Belfast)
Remote sensing data analysis plays a crucial role in advancing sustainable agriculture, offering valuable insights and aiding informed decision-making. Read more
Project Q1217: Machine Learning and Bayesian Modelling Approaches for Big Data in Beef Agriculture & Food Production (Dr Arran Hodgkinson, Queen’s University Belfast)
Machine learning (ML) is an invaluable modern technique whose insights, leveraged against large-scale databases tracking agricultural practices and outcomes, could radically change farming practices, both to the benefit of livestock and farmers, alike. Read more

Dissecting functions of beneficial soil bacterium in protecting banana plants from fungal infection
The Panama disease of banana, caused by fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) threatens the global production of bananas. Read more
Dexamethasone-releasing cochlear implants to reduce foreign body response
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted neuroprostheses designed to produce useful hearing sensations to persons with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve in the inner ear (or cochlea). Read more
UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Understandable agri-food Systems Transformed by Artificial Intelligence (SUSTAIN)
There are fifteen studentships available as part of the second cohort, starting in October 2025. Sixty studentships will be awarded, in total, over five years. Read more

Marine habitat restoration for future resilience: biogenic reef restoration in sea loughs under a changing climate.
Understanding the optimal approach for seascape-level restoration, where targeted habitats, e.g. biogenic reefs, are restored to support biodiversity and associated ecosystem functioning and stability, is vital for the resilience of the marine ecosystems in general. Read more
Metagenomics to guide precision medicine in ARDS
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a severe condition characterized by acute inflammation and diffuse alveolar damage, leading to respiratory failure. Read more
Novel investigation of innate airways defence in Severe Asthma and elucidation of potential therapeutic targets
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Join a distinguished translational experimental group that spans from lab work to delivery of specialist asthma clinical care, seeking to understand variation in airways immunity and how this results in varied responses to current asthma therapies. Read more
Understanding how high plasma soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) predicts poor outcome in patients with ARDS.
Research Group:
Wellcome-Wolfson Institute for Experimental Medicine
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is a common condition in critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation, and is often found in association with sepsis and other systemic illnesses. ARDS is associated with a high mortality, and there are no effective pharmacological interventions. . Read more
The potential value of risk based pricing for promoting innovation in biopharmaceuticals.
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
The prices of new pharmaceuticals have increased by orders of magnitude over the last two decades, and emerging gene therapies are expected to be priced a magnitude higher than the cellular therapies such as monoclonal antibodies. Read more
